>> there was a huge earthquake off the coast of canada. we will look the tsunami advisories but our happiest story of the day, the giants on the bripg of glory right now. this is the newspaper this morning and tonight is going to be the pivotal game that could give them the world series championships. we have a lot to talk about coming up. but first -- >> all right, hurricane sandy moving up the eastern seaboard with the storm's outer bands lashing the barrier islands off north carolina. >> right now the governor of new york, andrew cuomo, i halting a halt to all public transit in new york city at 7:00 tonight. it could affect 50 million people. suetion mcginnis has the latest from the coast of delaware. good morning, susan. reporter: good morning. there is no doubt this storm is coming closer. here on the beach of delaware, the waves are getting larger and stronger and crashing closer to shore. we have the winds intensifying and is it raining at times.

it is clear that sandy is on her way. north carolina is getting a taste of hurricane sandy's fury morning. there is driving rain and high surf, but officials are not expecting major damage. >> track has improved in our favor. reporter: bull dozers and residents are piling up the sand along the jersey shore. millions are bracing for hurricane sandy, a massive storm that is taking aim at the most densely populated region of the u.s. >> the first time a hurricane has been at our doorstep. >> sandy is still offshore heading north. forecasters believe it will turn toward land and possibly merge with a wintry storm system from the west. >> we should not underestimate the impact of this storm or assume the predictions will be wrong. >> people in sandy's path are heeding the warnings. businesses are boarding up. residents are stocking up and many are seeking higher ground. >> i'm hoping i have a house

when i come back. >> delaware has issued a mandatory evacuation order of coastal communities for 8:00 p.m. tonight. residents and tourists here are being urged not to wait until the last minute. wind gusts could hit 60 miles per hour. >> we hear it's supposed to be pretty windy, rainy. >> forecasters expect sandy's storm surge and torrential rain to cause major flooding in coastal areas and also farther inland. power outages are another big concern. utility crews from western areas are heading east to help out. sandy could knock out power for millions before it's over. now the arrival of this storm on the east coast is coinciding with a full moon. for that will make worst tidal activity stronger tidal activity on higher tide than even a full moon normally brings. >> the sense of urgency and preparedness, how does it feel on the ground there?

>> yeah, there certainly is a big change from a day ago. folks here have an emergency mandatory evacuation announcement last night at 8:00. it's in effect until tonight at 8:00. they are boarding up their homes. business owners are boarding up their businesses here on the shore and they are packing up and heading out of town. >> be safe yourself. thank you. let's turn now to brian. i know you been keeping your eye on hurricane sandy. how are things looking now. >> it's all going according to plan. we have what is now hurricane sandy. by tomorrow it will be a post tratropical storm because it will transition from being a hurricane to a winter-type system which is just weird. as you heard by now as this continues to track parallel to the eastern seaboard, the winds are minimal hurricane strength. as it get sucked in over the atlantic northeast, it will then suddenly cease drawing energy from the ocean and begin picking it up from a wintry-type

source. it's going to basically met more foe, from one kind of storm to another. when it does it will havoc over the eastern seaboard. hurricane force winds over the sea -- the eastern seaboard. we will talk about the fact that this thing is powering on shore and six to 12 inches of rain likely 40 to 70-mile-per-hour gusts and beach erosion because we are near lunar high tide. we will follow it throughout the course of the show and our own forecast in a few minutes. on the west coast a massive earthquake off the coast of western canada sent a tsunami warnings from alaska down to hawaii. >> it was a 7.7 quake. the largest to hit the british columbia region in more than 60 years. that quake struck the queen charlotte island at 8:00 last night and shaking was felt more than 500 miles away in vancouver. no reports of any major damage at this point. but several after shocks have

already followed. >> those are the tsunami sirens that went off in hawaii following that quake. the first of the waves did hit maui roughly three hours after the evacuation orders were given. those waves were over five feet high. the tsunami warnings in hawaii were downgraded down to an advisory around 4:00 this morning. small tsunami waves were also reported in alaska. well, it's just one game away now, at least that's how we like no think of it here. giants use brilliant pitching to take game three. they pulled a 2-0 shutout over the tigers giving the giants the sixth straight playoff win. coming up, dennis o'donnell explains what makes this win so special and the giants great run, how it's drawing out fans from halfway around the world. >> i was wondering if in san francisco california and now i work in afghanistan. i flew to bagram and then to

the election and the presidential candidates hit the battle ground states this weekend. president obama was in new hampshire and has only four electoral votes but with a close race those votes could make a difference. mitt romney was in florida which began early voting this weekend. he held rallies in three florida cities telling supporters it's time for a change. >> so that on -- >> supporters of the -- they do four more years, four more years. i like ten more days. i feel better. >> ten days and you will be stepping into a voting booth and making a defining choice about the future of our country. >> and today again is it nine days. we have hurricane sandy heading toward the east coast as we have been talking about both campaigns have been forced to change the travel schedule. romney scrapped a trip to virginia set for today. he will head to ohio. the president planned to head to florida tomorrow but he pushed his trip to tonight to beat the storm. and face the nation will be taking a look at this final

stretch before election day. bob schieffer chats with republican senator john mccain and chicago mayor rom emanuel today. big question, what do both candidates need to do to win this race for the white house? and that's on face the nation at 8:30 a.m. here on cbs 5. coming up, why schools are always on the chopping block when it comes to the state budget. anales from governor -- ans from the governor. day of answers ahead. what bay area volunteers at this phone bank are encouraging voters to do. >> and we will meet a man who believes changing a mind set can change the future. hear how he changed his own course in life and doing the same for other young people. we will be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,,,

through sunday, get sleep train's very best mattresses at the guaranteed lowest price. plus, pay no interest for 3 years on the best brand-name mattress sets. but the best rest event ends sunday at sleep train. ♪ your ticket to a better night's sleep ♪ whether to approve a tax an election day little over a week away, californians will decide whether or not to approve a tax increase favored by governor brown. the governor has been traveling across the state to fight for

passage of proposition 30 and this weekend volunteers are working phone banks but recent polls show only 46% support prop 30. would raise income taxes on the wealthy and hike the state sale's tax by a quarter of a percent. >> proposition 30 does not pass it will have a devastating effect on education in california. >> if prop 30 fails, school and colleges would face $6 billion in cuts. the trigger cuts as governor brown is calling them. small business action committee is pushing hard to defeat the msh measure saying higher taxes will drive away jobs. >> for more, we sat down with governor jerry brown at kcbs myself and our first question is, okay, look, this isn't the first time that voters in california have been asked to bail out the state budget. why isn't it fixed and why should they go for this? >> the last ten yards to go over the goal line is this money for

schools. it's an either/or. on or off. either money in to schools or money out of schools. i wish it didn't have to be this way. but at the end of the day i hope people know that 99% of the people will not pay this income tax. it's only 1% and what people will pay is a penny when they get a $400 cappucino or a sandwich. a penny. if you buy $8 purchase, it's two pennies. our schools are at risk. we have been cutting classes. we are raising tuition. we have been shortening the school year. i'm telling you, as sincere as i can be, this is important. please think about it before you vote on election day. >> you said earlier this week you think a lot of nonsupporters because people don't know what it is. explain what prop 30 is? >> proposition 30 is very simple. it's the last piece of my budget solution. i inherited a one helluva mess

in sacramento. $27 billion deficit. we slashed and now we are down to the last few billion. that's 6 to 8 billion. we have to cut more and only place is the schools or university or revenue. i'm asking for revenue. most of it is from the top 1% because it's the income tax for married couple that are the predominant source of income. don't pay a penny until they earn over half a million and they pay 1% and then they get up to three-quarters of a million then whatever they earn more they pay on that only. 2% and if they get to a million we were talking not a million saved over a lifetime, a million earned in 12 months, then over that amount when they earn more getting into 2 million they pay 3%. i think it's fair. the rest of us will pay a quarter cent on the sales tax. doesn't apply to food and contrary to the no on 30, it does not apply to gasoline. that's one of their false ads.

it's arithmetic. end of the schools for those who are fabulously wealthy or money out of the schools. i can't make it simpler. >> why would we come with taxes it's either this or the schools closed. why didn't they cut 10% across the board on state government? why didn't everybody get hit. why is it always education. >> as a matter of fact, we have reduced 40,000 people from state prison without one republican vote. in fact one of the assemblyman said blood will run the streets. add another 10,000 inmates in a neighborhood close to yours? i don't want to go farther than -- further that. the blind and disabled are getting a lower state pension than they were in the 80s. we got rid of redevelopment. things that were important because we couldn't afford it. >> what comes after this? >> what comes after this is we pay down the debts that were incurred by previous governors. we owe the schools $9 billion. we borrowed from them.

we owe the recycling fund. we owe local government. we owe 6 billion to the recovery bond. as we pay those off that will lower our spending and as the tax comes off in seven years the income tax, we should be with any kind of recovery on a glide path that we will have a balanced budget. to do that, i will have to be doctor no. it's not a pleasant task. i didn't know i fully realized i have to be the guy that says no. that's the vocation i chosen and i will exercise the fiscal discipline to keep this state on track. >> by the way, the governor said that if the tax doesn't pass, those trilogiers are going into effect even though there is a brief window to change that. >> opponents say he is bluffing. they will end up back in sacramento if prop 30 doesn't pass and come up with something to not have those cuts go into effect. they are huge these cuts. we are talking about billions. >> therein lies the rub and the

question of a few percent which which this vote will go. you can hear our complete interview with governor jerry brown that starts at 8:30 on kcbs radio. that's news talk 740. and f.m. 106.9. the weather around here, gorgeous day yesterday. brian, do we expect a change today? >> glad you approved. you liked yesterday you will love today. we have some nice start to the day with mostly sunny skies around the bay area. we have fog across the golden gate and low clouds near the shoreline. otherwise things seem good with temperatures in the early going mostly in the 50s in the bay area. 50 degrees in santa rosa. 58 for san jose. at the airport 56 degrees and sunshine all over the place except for detroit. we have cloudy. 45 degrees at game time tonight. see how that goesle. satellite rr showing a system that is unwinding over the pacific northwest. low pressure offshore from oregon and high pressure that's off our coast line is going to combine to provide a pretty

emotions to training and mentorship programs, life skills 411 introduced students to the corporate world. teens through young adults who learn about finance, health, technology and careers can beat the odds like michael. >> when in their own mind they created and played out their future and only see that future in one way, then they have been robbed. >> michael founded life skills sick years ago after reflecting on his own success. he been hand picked by toyota's president to leap on to the fast track of management but didn't start out that way. he was child with an uncertain future. >> i remember being at home in richmond in fear of my safety when and how my mom was going to get over certain struggles she was having, abusive relationship and being behind my education. >> he credits his godparents for showing him he could create a better life. >> that was the beginning of an open door that a different michael e. park core emerge. >> michael graduated from college and eventually became

an entrepreneur and now through his nonprofit he is sharing the 411 of his success with students like patrick who is now a life skills mentor and marketing employee. and 21-year-old who is an auditor at kpmg accounting. >> as a result of life skills i'm more 2ker78ed -- determined to achieve success and determined to help others achieve success. >> first is your instinct. >> life skills executive director terry fulton says michael has been mentoring students since they became friends at teenagers. >> it's just amazing the connection that he makes with people. that's his greatest asset. >> michael says he simply wants to inspire kids to reach their potential. >> now they have a chance to actually be something great. if i could do that as many times as i can in my life, i think i will be a happy person. >> so for equipping thousands of east bay young people with life skills to grow successful careers, this week's jefferson award in the bay area goes to

degrees in detroit. and for the bay area, the inland temperatures near 80 degrees dry weather through tuesday and then rain returns for the bay area by wednesday. satellite and radar is showing us the low pressure is off the pacific northwest is going to spend a few high clouds over washington and oregon. for us high and dry for the next 72 hours and then we finally begin to increase clouds and just dead on cue for halloween we look like a chance of rain for the bay area. in the mean time we get sunshine and the numbers will reflect a pretty nice day today. out the door this morning about an hour from now the numbers will be in the mid-50s, mid- to upper 50s for the bay. still on the chilly side inland. but those will recover big time today. future cast low clouds along the shoreline. move back in tonight so we get more low clouds tonight than we had last night. and as a result everybody will cool off a little bit on monday. for today, looks nice. down in the south bay, 70s for the most part. 79 for san jose.

she has been in congress for awhile, what has changed the most and how has she noticed that change affecting the nation's capitol? >> i noticed something big time. as you know i did the assault weapons legislation. was it controversial? absolutely. proposed it in 1993. it became the law in 94 and lasted to 2004. when it came to the floor and i did it as an amendment to the crime bill. as a matter of fact, joe biden who was chairman of the judiciary laughed at me and said now you are going to learn about the gunners. they aren't going to let this happen. there wasn't a -- vote. there was a motion. there wasn't a live filibuster. is that controversial bill. why? because both sides felt that this was important that we go to the senate to stand up and vote and that's what we should do. to debate something on the floor, make it as fierce and as

long as you need but do it and then vote. what's happened with the advent of this new president is, the republicans have stated the leader has stated our -- this is a pairs from -- pairs from. our number one priority is the defeat of this president. and they instituted a requirement of cloughture which requires 60 votes even on a motion to proceed to debate an issue on the floor. certainly on a motion to close off the debate. so they defeat whether it's an appointee, whether wts an ambassador or a judge or whether it's a judge appointment or whether it's a bill. they defeat them on a cloughture motion without having to actually vote on the item of issue. it's terrible.

and they have used it more than 82 times since the president has been president. >> the tone, the overall tone? >> the tone has been highly partisan. and unnecessarily so. and if you ask me, what would be one of the things i would want to accomplish, it is to alleviate this hyper partisanship. i know it can be done. >> in the senate, what would you say your accomplishment was? >> i think -- >> so far. >> i think assault weapons was one. i think breaking 20 years of nonaction with the mileage efficiency bill that i sponsored with olympia snow as co-sponsor which we work the on for -- worked on for years is now the law. it was signed by bush. it's carried out by obama. and by 2025 automobiles will have 54 miles per gallon if it continues to be enacted. as a matter of fact, romney has

said he wouldn't. the savings are just enormous. so it's that, it's assault weapons. it's obviously the desert bill. it's the tahoe bill. it's the wetlands in san francisco bay. i get such a kick when i fly in and what used to be dominant orange ponds at the south end of the bay, the salt ponds are now turning green with wetlands. and i think, you know, i had something to do about this. i put that deal together. >> if you had a vote to take back, which would it be? >> it would be iraq. i'll tell you why. i was on intelligence. i read the classified report twice, big report. i read the white paper twice, the unclassified report. i listened to speeches by dick

cheney. by george bush. i saw the secretary of state come out before the security council of the united nations and say, this vial contains biological weapons from mobile biological labs in iraq. and i believed them and i believed the intelligence. and i voted to go to war in iraq. and the intelligence was wrong. >> her opponent in this race elizabeth. we have extended two invitations to her campaign for interviews but they say it didn't work out with her schedule. wanted to point that out. >> san francisco, all lit up in orange for giants fever. >> this is how the city shows its team pride during the world series. next our conversation with mayor ed lee. another high profile sports event he wants to bring to town. ,,

event this year. this week san francisco is all lit up and orange for the biggest baseball event of the year. >> and so we sat down with san francisco mayor ed lee and asked him, all right, the world series brought a lot of attention and money to the city. but how vile is this overall to san francisco? >> it's extremely important -- vital is this overall to san francisco? >> it's extremely important. i think it's the unifying spirit a sports team does when they wane world -- a championship. look at the buildings. they are all orange, buildings that i never seen before turned to color. we had the building owners managers are all volunteering to change the colors. not only city hall but the opera house, symphony are all in bright orange. >> so we have that now. the next step is people are saying is how do you keep the roll going. you have the 49ers exiting the city and then trying to bring this warriors arena in.

>> that's right. >> what's the status on that? >> we kept the ball rolling as we speak because ben, lori and i and a bunch of others are in the process of writing our bid to the national football league for hosting nfl's super bowl l. and we have a great shot at it so that's what we will be working on and find out next may. then we will work with the warriors on a beautiful water front arena on piers 30-31. it's a huge investment for them to make. i have to admit. just to fix the piers will be 100 to $120 million. just before you put anything on top of it we have to prevent it -- making sure it's seismically safe. they are unveiling a beautiful design. i'm ecstatic about their approach to this. >> a lot of people would say that's a step too far. that's huge, massive. that's going to change the water front and clog the water front and turn it into a theme park rather than a maritime center. >> look at the design they have

is much less of a theme park. more of a really beautiful park for people to come in. opens up with open space at the very beginning. >> it doesn't let anything go on the water front. what makes you think these other state commissions will allow that? >> i think when they see the plans of people coming out to enjoy the water front and see it for what it is, it's no different than with a we have done with chrisy field and marina. we have opened it up and invited more people. what we created the conditions out of something that might have looked like a parking lot and wilderness. >> we have the warriors that you are taking from oakland. stealing from oakland to put on your water front to bring more money. you got the americas cup. what else do you have in the bag? >> i think we continue to be a great city for all events. we have a huge amount of conventions that are still going on. when you look at that sales force with 85,000 people oracle, 45,000 people. i think we still have our space out there. i'm working on the other

industries. medical industries, watch out for. that small businesses. watch out for mid-market. all the changes we are looking at. there we were on a roll. >> what about soccer? tennis well badmontten. >> soccer is there. >> ping pong. >> and i do think that he is considering putting together an olympic bid because san francisco where all the of talk of tech and everything else we have going here, tourism still is the major industry and you have to stay in the world spotlight to keep the tourists coming. >> this is true. coming up we have another look at this morning's top story including the latest on hurricane sandy. >> how many people may be in the storm's path? closed captioning brought to you by sleep train, wishing you a fun and safe halloween.
